KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 2% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.31).

KTB at a glance Fired Jun–Jul Adrian McGuinness: 0.9% from 109
The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 0.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.17 and −116.00 to a £1 stake over 127 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Adrian McGuinness supplied 37% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (0.9%, A/E 0.23). The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (5.4%, n=37). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.00 across 55 rides (0% strike, −55.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. Seasonally, the rider fired Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 1.7% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 15 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Stephen Mooney's strike rate?
Stephen Mooney has won 5 of 291 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 1.7% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Stephen Mooney do best at?
Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 1 wins from 101 rides (1%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.
Which yard does Stephen Mooney ride most for?
Adrian McGuinness, with 109 rides since 2008 — 37% of the total. That pairing has won 1 (0.9%).
What is Stephen Mooney's Fair A/E?
0.31, from 289 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 15 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
